Elsewhere...

Bobby anxiously crouches behind a craggy ruin, along with Riffel Kender and Hank, who watches carefully with his eagle-eyed attention.

Hank stops, then whistles a signal.

At the sound, Diana makes a sudden appearance across the way, traveling with a series of flips until she finishes off a floor routine

As the Moonlight Guardians leave, Sheila takes a deep breath, holding the door handle and readying for anything.

Doubling its move, one of the Moonlight Guardians reaches Diana. The other stops its advance with enough advance to level its left arm-- out of its featureless stump erupts a burst of white moonlight.

Sheila flings the door, and suddenly a bright cone of magic radiates from the middle of the doorframe to spotlight the entryway.   

Riffel keeps low, dashing out from cover and straight for the door. As he nears the pool of light, he ducks and rolls the same to avoid the light.

Inside the Anteroom...

First Hank, then Bobby, run as fast as they can, crossing the area to reach the entrance in seconds, their momentum carrying them through. Bobby in particular leaps through a narrow space between the light beam and the door frame, landing and sliding along the floor, his club ready to swing. 

He pauses, lowering his club as he takes in the dramatic display of a noble statue that elegantly dominates this anteroom. 

Back outside...

With her Staff as leverage, Diana vaults over the Moonlight Guardian next to her.

Diana takes off running as fast as she can, sprinting toward the door. As she passes the second Guardian, it readies another blast at her but it goes wide. 

As Diana reaches the doorway, Hank fires an arrow to slightly upward, its energy creating a half-dome to separate the Moonlight Guardians from the entrance.

Diana stops, panting, just short of the light-trap that continues to shine upon the entryway.

Inside the Anteroom...

Bobby runs up to a weapons rack, with a sword and sheiled prominently displayed. Similarly, a breastplate proudly stands on a dummy. 

Outside...

The Guardians advance toward Hank's glowing dome of light. The closest one pounds on the shield with its blunt left arm.

Hank's aura of protection shatters easily under the Guardian's massive blow. Diana cringes as the light flickers in sparks all around her.

Angling the mirror, Sheila catches some of the light from the magic beaming down from the doorway, trying to angle it into what passes for the monsters' faces.

The creature does react, in a split-second moment of suprise, as if a fly buzzed nearby.

The stone flies into the confused creature's head, chipping off a large portion of the tip of the crescent. 

The Guardian falls, spasming in short, quick movements on the floor, as cracks extend up and down along its surface until it breaks open, falling apart into chunks. 

Diana lands easily inside, and Bobby comes running with a newfound shield in one hand, his club in the other.

Hank on one side, Shiela and Riffle on the other, all manage to shut the heavy doors to the outside. 

Bobby completes the closure by jamming the sheild where the doors meet the floor, knocking it forcibly with his club, just to make sure. 

There is pounding from the door as the creature bashes against it. 

Everyone takes a collective moment to breathe, but thankfully the pounding grows infrequent, then stops.
